As I came to my senses, I stared at the disgusting man before me.

I couldn't help but shudder.

His face was plastered with a smile. Though he was a head taller than me, he was practically stooping to my height.

I forced a smile and answered his earlier question. "Quentin Stratton, have we ever dated?"

He froze, a baffled look in his eyes.

I scoffed and was about to walk away when he grabbed my wrist.

My gaze turned ice-cold. I whipped my head around, glaring at the hand he had on me.

The moment he realized, he let go.

I looked up at him, my expression devoid of emotion.

Quentin Stratton gave an awkward laugh. "Uh, I..."

"Stop." I frowned, cutting him off. "You said you could offer me something. Tell me what it is, and then I'll decide whether to give you the resources."

A light breeze swept the hair from his forehead, and I saw a flicker of bewilderment in his eyes.

'True. Anything he has, I have too.'

He could rack his brain all day and still not think of anything to offer me in exchange.

While he was still hesitating, my phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at the screen and answered without hesitation.

I even put it on speakerphone.

A boisterous female voice came through the phone. "Elara, where are you?"

I watched Quentin Stratton's face. Sure enough, the moment he heard the voice, his expression darkened.

I had to stifle a laugh. "I'm right outside my house. What's up?"

"Oh. Perfect." It was a little noisy on her end. "I'm on my way to get you now. Wait for me out front, and I'll take you to meet our partner."

I agreed and hung up.

Then, smiling, I looked at the priceless expression on Quentin Stratton's face.

"Aren't you leaving? Or do you want to come with us to meet our partner?"

Quentin Stratton immediately shook his head. He forced an incredibly ugly smile. "I'll... I'll come back another day."

I scoffed, watching Quentin Stratton beat a hasty retreat.

'Goes to show...'

'A guilty conscience will always catch up to you.'

'Or else...'

I watched his retreating figure and said aloud, "...you end up just like him."

The CEO's Asset: Sold To My Enemy Novel Cover
7.7
I spent two years trying to please Xander Yates, thinking he was the man who would help me save my family’s struggling manufacturing business. As a former senior legal counsel, I thought I knew how to handle sharks, but I never expected the man I loved to be the one who would try to skin me alive. Everything shattered at a high-end gala when I felt a chemical fire start in my marrow. Xander had spiked my drink, chasing me through the hotel corridors with a predatory smile, ready to take by force what I wouldn't give him willingly. I barely escaped into an elevator, stealing a key card from a man in a sharp grey suit and collapsing in room 8086. That stranger turned out to be Crockett Blackburn, the "Ice King of Wall Street" and a man my family had spent years avoiding. He didn't save me out of the goodness of his heart; he saved me because he saw a "messy variable" he could turn into a weapon. By morning, Xander was blackmailing me with a video of me drugged, and Crockett was offering me a deal that felt like a deal with the devil. He would save my factory, but only if I gave him 51% controlling interest and became his personal legal counsel. The humiliation was total. Xander called me a junkie and a slut, while Crockett looked at the bruises on my neck with the cold, clinical assessment of a man checking a damaged piece of equipment. When a secret bid was leaked, Crockett didn't hesitate to pin the blame on me, accusing me of working with my ex to drive up the price. I was a pawn in a game between two monsters, one who wanted to destroy my body and another who wanted to own my soul and my family’s legacy. I had lost my apartment, my reputation, and my safety in less than twenty-four hours. "I don't like it when people break my things," Crockett told me as he applied ointment to the marks Xander left on my throat. I realized then that if I wanted to survive, I had to stop being the victim and start being the predator. I signed the contract, moved into Blackburn’s penthouse, and prepared for a scorched-earth war against the Yates family. I don't care if Crockett Blackburn is using me as a leash—as long as he lets me be the one to bite.
